Subject: [PATCH net] macvlan: fix a race on port dismantle and possible skb
 leaks

From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@...gle.com>

We need to cancel the work queue after rcu grace period,
otherwise it can be rescheduled by incoming packets.

We need to purge queue if some skbs are still in it.

We can use __skb_queue_head_init() variant in
macvlan_process_broadcast()
